We're dividing 279440 by 13 
We're looking to find how many times 13 goes into 279440.

Going ahead to step 1:
13 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 13

On to step 2:
13 goes into 27 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 26 from 27 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 13

Step 3:
If we divide 19 by 13, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 13 from 19 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 13

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 64 by 13, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 52 from 64.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 13

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 124 by 13, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2149.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 117 from 124.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 13

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 70 by 13, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21495.0
Subtract 65 from 70 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
13 can be fit into 50 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21495.3
If we subtract 39 from 50, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
110 divided by 13 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21495.38
Subtract 104 from 110 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 60 by 13, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21495.384
Subtract 52 from 60 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 13, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21495.3846
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
13 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21495.38461
Subtracting 13 from 20 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
13 goes into 70 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21495.384615
If we take 65 away from 70, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 13:
13 goes into 50 3 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21495.3846153
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 39 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
13 can be fit into 110 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21495.38461538
Subtract 104 from 110 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 21495.38461538 with a remainder of 6e-09.
